Bottled. Pours dark. Nice and sizable head. Nutty malty aroma and taste. Reminded me more of a schwarz than a dunkel.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours translucent brown with crimson hightlights with 3/4" tan head. Good small bubble lacing, medium/light body, and medium/light carbonation. Taste is roasted malt, some nut, a little off taste, and bitter finish. Not a fan.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewery, served in a tasting glass. Pours clear mahogany with a small, off-white head. The head fades quickly and leaves no lace. On the nose, there are notes of toasted malts and roasted coffee, along with a hint of herbal hops. The flavour is moderately sweet with toasted malts and slightly bitter with a hint of hops and spice. The finish is malty with a spicy pepper note. On the palate, it is light-medium in body with a dryish texture and soft carbonation. Overall, this is a respectable dunkel, but nothing special. This could definitely be a lot more complex. 2011-11-25

12 oz bottle. It pours a nice dark brown color with a little head. The smell is of roasted malts with hint of hops. Flavor of chocolate, a hint of coffee flavor, roasted malts, and Earthy hops. Had a metallic or wood like taste in the finish. Medium in body with a good amount of drinkability. I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

Draught at Tommy’s wedding. Pours dark reddish brown with a smallish brown head. Aromas of smoke, cocoa, and earthy malt. The flavor is sweet roasty malt with some nice balancing hops and a lightly smoky profile. Dark, but not too heavy; a drinkable beer. Pretty tasty. Congrats buddy! [884]
